Hard to believe there is any chance they will wait until that late to make a selection. Forget the recruiting impact, they can survive that, but not even beginning to put the pieces in place until after Spring practice for a unit that has been their downfall recently? That alone would make you wonder about Boom and/or Foley’s competence. Fingers crossed but I think this is just making it appear they aren’t panicky and actually have a plan.

“The UF coaching staff has told offensive recruits across the board that the new coordinator will bring an up-tempo system with some elements of the spread.”

It’s almost but not quite like another Groundhog Day in The Gator Nation:

“Florida head coach Will Muschamp was reportedly blindsided by the news that Charlie Weis was accepting the head coaching position at Kansas…. ‘I’m excited to join the University of Florida football family and The Gator Nation,’ Pease said….Coach Muschamp and I share a lot of the same philosophies so this was a perfect fit. I want to be multiple in our offensive formations and have a balanced attack with tempo. I firmly believe in being fundamentally sound and red-zone efficient. I want to develop our players in a pro-style offense that can help them at the next level. ”

It appears that Jeremy Foley is telling Muschump he can’t hire Lane Kiffin as OC… So far Clay Helton and Mike Norvell played the UF card for big raises to stay at UCLA and Az. State, and Blake Anderson (UNC OC) used UF to get a better offer to become HC at Arky State.
Looks like Tim Beck, who is laying an egg at Nebraska, will be the next best choice to join Muschump as he goes down the toilet after another dismal season in 2014.
Meanwhile Kerwin Bell is comfy at Jacksonville University and just waiting for mamma Florida to call him home.

Quote Of The Day

“It brings back a great Bulldog running back in Thomas who has NFL playing experience and has had success as a college coach at multiple schools. He also inherits a position that has been built to an elite level by Bryan. And it gives Bryan the opportunity to return to coaching the position he played and the one where he cut his teeth serving as a graduate assistant under wide receiver coach John Eason here at UGA. It also provides him with a new experience as a passing game coordinator.” -- Mark Richt, AB-H, 2/16/15
